LETTER: Likes Mike, 7th Ward

Friday, May 3, 2013

To the Editor: Having lived in Lorain all my life, I feel I can determine what may be needed to move Lorain forward. I have seen many people come and go in political office. Some are still there. I have over the years spoken and discussed the City of Lorain with Mike Beatty and ways to make it better. We have debated, disagreed, discussed, compared, highlighted, contemplated and agreed on quite a few ideas to make Lorain a better place to live and work. We have been inspired and dismayed at all the great facets of Lorain and its shortcomings. I feel Mike Beatty can bring to the table a great passion for Lorain as the new 7th Ward Councilman. As a U.S. Army veteran on the Valor Home Executive Committee, a union member who fights for justice, and a former Port Authority member who participated in the rise of the Black River Landing, Mike Beatty has the experience and vision to move Lorain forward. He is willing to work with all the workers, supervisors, business owners, and taxpayers to build a better Lorain. He is willing to go door-to-door to meet and talk to the constituents. On May 7, let's move this city forward and elect Mike Beatty for the 7th Ward.
